We have used free sites for what we have found for you as mentioned Freebmd and I used

http://www.cwgc.org/

to look for war deaths

Most of the people who help on these boards are not full members, I am just a standard member of this site

If he died after 1969 then his death can be searched for by his date of birth

Sidney and Sydney do seem to be interchangeable. I've seen that before, that's why I looked for the other spelling.

Thank you..........I had been given this information from family in England, so did presume it was correct BUT yes his parents are as you have said.

Are either of you related to him?

If his mother was Gallon then his name was Sydney

No, I have only this week known of his existence. I am Australian and up until now my research has mostly been done on another site.

I do know that his name was Sidney......not Sydney.

Are you related to this person? do you know who his parents were?

Have you tried the search trees? or looked for any marriage or children for him on freebmd?
